I am a statistical geneticist working at the intersection of computer science, biostatistics and
genetics to develop computational methods to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of complex traits. The focus of my research is computational and statistical approaches to analyze and integrate high dimensional biological data, particularly those data types resulting from functional genomics studies. My primary scholarly interest and initial training during my dissertation was related to the development and application of novel techniques to study the genetic components involved in the etiology of the complex traits. One of my more recent research interests is the analysis and reconstruction of regulatory networks.
